Breast Reduction Candidates

When considering a cosmetic surgery, patients should be evaluated to determine if they are an ideal candidate for the procedure, or if another treatment may be better-suited to their goals. Physical and psychological factors should be considered, and patients need to have realistic expectations for the outcome. During your evaluation, Dr. Matt Chhatre will go over your medical history and goals for treatment, as well as discuss what he looks for in breast reduction candidates at our Kansas City, MO, cosmetic surgery office.
